Chelsea bowed out of the Champions League after a 3-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid at Stamford Bridge in the semi-final second leg—and the damage apparently done to the so-called Chelsea bus was too much for even roadside assistance firm the AA:

Jose Mourinho has set up the Blues defensively in many of their big games—with plenty of success. They beat Manchester City home and away in the Premier League, while their 2-0 victory away at Anfield on Sunday was the perfect example of the tactics working.
